Tweak for : Windows 2000

Description:

This setting enables you to disallow the ability to disable the Active Desktop.

If you go to any free place of your desktop, press the right mouse button and choose the option properties, the display properties will appear where you can disable the Active Desktop. If you enable this setting, you can’t disable the Active Desktop via the display properties.

For this go to "Start->Run" and enter "regedit" and search the key listed below. You can create one DWORD value "ForceActiveDesktopOn", if this value is not existing.

Now you can set this value to prevent the disabling of the Active Desktop. After a restart or logoff the changes take effect.

Users can change the positions of icons and place them anywhere on the desktop. Windows saves such settings even when the user logs off or restarts the system. This setting can let you disable such feature.
